Kenji Fujita, whose face was pale, never thought that he would be able to hear such a news: Lianchuang Technology is actually preparing to jointly develop lithography machines with 45 institutes under the Republic of China Electronic Technology Group?
He didn't know what kind of scientific research unit the 45 institutes under the Electronic Technology Group were, but he understood that Fuji Subaru Automobile Co., Ltd. attached great importance to this transaction with Lianchuang Technology's lithography machine, and said to himself several times that he would never allow anything to go wrong, but now, Lianchuang Technology is ready to do it himself.
Hearing the news, Kenji Fujita only felt that the sky was about to fall: This is a pure profit of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the net profit of Fuji Subaru Automobile Co., Ltd. is only a few hundred million dollars a year?
"It's verified," Kenji Fujita's secretary's expression was unusually bitter, "It's just that our friends in the high-ranking of the government of the Republic told us, and there will be no mistake......
"It's over, it's over......" Kenji Fujita sat down on the ground.
Although Fuji Subaru's development path in the Republic was not smooth, even in difficult circumstances, they did not forget to "make friends" with high-ranking officials of the Republic government, and since this friend came from Fuji Subaru's "old friends", there is absolutely no mistake.
The loss of hundreds of millions of dollars even alarmed Fuji Subaru's parent company: Fuji Heavy Industries, which is absolutely responsible, Fujita Kenji counted the people up and down Fuji Subaru on his fingers, and finally found that he was not big or small, and he was just the person to take responsibility...... But what is the matter with Lao Tzu? If you hadn't exploded a price of $70 million per unit for Lianchuang Technology, would you have scared the other party into preparing to engage in R&D by yourself?
After scolding the senior members of the club in his stomach, Kenji Fujita took a deep breath and asked, "So, they haven't started working together yet, right?" ”
"It seems...... That is true. Kenji Fujita's secretary hesitated. Fang Cai nodded.
"Since we haven't signed a contract yet, we have a chance!" Kenji Fujita shook his fist vigorously and said loudly, "The most urgent thing at the moment is to tell the company about this." I hope that the president will carefully consider the pros and cons...... That's all we can do. ”
"Hey!" Kenji Fujita's secretary bowed vigorously, as if he were bowing to a dead man.
Kenji Fujita also bowed deeply to his secretary and said loudly, "But before that, we have to figure out what is going on, Oi." Please be sure to investigate, please. ”
……………………
Not surprisingly, Lianchuang Technology has reached a consensus with 45 institutes under the Republic of China Electronic Technology Group on the development of lithography machines between the two sides, and signed a framework agreement on the same day, which scared Fuji Subaru Motor Co., Ltd. and Nikon Co., Ltd.
Fuji Subaru Automobile Co., Ltd. and Fuji Heavy Industries regret that their hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue have been lost, but Nikon is more worried, although Nikon is very strong in the field of lithography machine technology, but after all, it is not as good as AS&ML, and the rising star Canon is also catching up quickly, and the pressure on Nikon is actually very great.
The 10 lithography machines that are going to be sold to Lianchuang Technology this time, don't look at Nikon's always very reserved and arrogant. As long as this deal is reached, Nikon will make a net profit of more than 500 million US dollars, and with this 500 million US dollars supplement, Nikon Optics will be able to breathe a big sigh of relief from the pressure of R&D funds in the next few years, and they actually attach great importance to this transaction, as for the Batumi embargo...... Marx said that with 300% profits, capital dares to commit any crime. Even if you risk the risk of hanging your head, the profit of these 10 lithography machines secretly traded with Lianchuang Technology this time is more than 300%!
But now, Nima, why don't you Lianchuang Technology play cards according to common sense?
It's just a loss of profit. What makes Nikon even more uneasy is the development of Lianchuang Technology beyond the conventional way, this company was established less than 10 years ago, in a short period of time has become the world's largest electronics industry giant, although their technology in the field of lithography machine is completely blank, but unlike Fuji Subaru, Nikon still has some understanding of the technical level of the 45 lithography machine fields under the Republic Electronic Technology Group. is well aware of the strength of its counterparts in the republic, and if there is sufficient financial guarantee and enough patience, the 45 Institute will inevitably become a huge threat to Nikon in the field of lithography - which means that Lianchuang Technology can threaten Nikon's position in the field of lithography machines.
"Absolutely not allow the Chinese to form their own lithography machine R&D, production and manufacturing capabilities, absolutely not!" Ushida Michiro waved his fist and gritted his teeth: "Once the Chinese have this ability, it will be a disaster for Nikon!" We should immediately report this to the Americans and get them to agree to make an opening for Chinese in the lithography machine, and as long as the Chinese can buy the lithography machine with money, they will not develop it themselves. ”
"Your Excellency Ushida, are you exaggerating?" Another vice president, Kojiro Shimamura, frowned, and said disapprerovingly: "We are very clear about how high-tech the lithography machine is, not to mention whether Lianchuang Technology can really provide them with enough funds, even if there are enough funds, I don't believe that they can overcome those difficulties in a short period of time...... Those difficulties are really terrible. ”
As a right-winger, Shimamura Kojiro firmly believes that the Japanese are the best race in the world, and that Japan's ability to rise from the ruins in just over a decade after World War II is the best proof of this, Chinese? Let's see, so long after the end of the Second World War, their average standard of living is not as good as that of the Japanese in the 60s, with such a bunch of stupid people, they will pose a threat to Nikon in the field of lithography machines? No kidding.
"Your Excellency Shimamura is right," Shimamura Kojiro's words were immediately supported by another vice president: "The Chinese have been conducting research on lithography machines for almost 20 years, and have also developed several lithography machines, but so what, with their level, the lithography machines researched are at least three orders of magnitude behind us, and I know the Chinese very well." I don't think they would be willing to invest so much money in the research of lithography machines when they can't see benefits for so long, this is simply impossible, in my opinion, this is a smoke bomb released by Lin Zheng's bastard. They want to use this to force us to lower our prices. ”
That's right! When the other people in the conference room heard this, their eyes lit up.
Everyone was frightened by the news that the Chinese were ready to spend huge sums of money to develop lithography machines, and although they kept despising their neighbors, in fact, every Japanese elite who really knew something about China knew how great potential and creativity their neighbors on the other side of the river had. A country that can continue its own civilization for 5,000 years without interruption, no matter how you overestimate him, although they refuse to admit it, they know very well in their hearts that if Chinese is really willing to invest heavily in the research and development of lithography machines, maybe they can really occupy a place in the field of lithography machines in the world after 10...... How can this happen to him?
But Kutaragi reminded everyone: yes, if the Chinese really make up their minds to build lithography machines, they are indeed very likely to succeed, but isn't the timing of this news too strange? Lianchuang Technology is just a private company, and they are willing to invest heavily for decades. Working on a product that won't see benefits for a long time? No kidding, looking at the various products of Lianchuang Technology, they have always been engaged in "short, flat and fast" projects.
Nine out of nine, this is a conspiracy of Lianchuang Technology!
Even Michiro Ushida was muttering in his heart: Could it be that this is really a Chinese ploy, wanting to force Nikon to lower prices in this way?
After hesitating, everyone's eyes fell on the president of the meeting, Michiro Sugya, waiting for Michiro Sugatani's final decision.
Michiro Kantani frowned.
Speaking from the heart, Michiro Ushiya felt that Ushida's words were not unreasonable, and the lithography machine was an extremely high-tech and complex product, although the Chinese developed the first lithography machine as early as 1984. But their technology is too backward, compared to Nikon at least there is a gap of more than 20 years, and he firmly believes that Chinese must not be allowed to form their own lithography machine development and manufacturing capabilities, otherwise it will be a huge threat to Nikon. In order to sweep away this threat, Nikon should sell its products to the Chinese even if it loses money - the government and Americans will compensate Nikon anyway;
But in the same way, the words of Kutaragi and Shimamura Kojiro are also very correct, what if Lianchuang Technology does not really plan to study lithography machines, but intends to force itself to reduce prices in this way? He also doesn't believe that Lianchuang Technology is really willing to invest heavily in the research and development of lithography machines for decades, when Nikon was researching lithography machine technology. The Japanese government has supported and subsidized in various names, and most of the research funds are borne by the government.
Will Lianchuang do this? Michiro Kantani also felt that it was unlikely, but he had to admit that this possibility did exist, and the reason was that Lin Zheng was very young!
Young people's fire is relatively large, it is easy to be young and vigorous, Nikon to these 10 lithography machines quoted 60 million US dollars a piece, Fuji Subaru will increase the price of each 10 million US dollars, this is 700 million US dollars, with the Chinese have always "spend a little money to do big things" tradition, Michiro Suya feels that the Chinese with three to four 700 million US dollars can definitely be studied to use the lithography machine, the Chinese are not a few years ago, now they, the economy is developing rapidly, the financial is also rapidly abundant, The funding for the scientific research system will inevitably increase, and even if Lianchuang Technology only uses the $700 million to participate in the shares, it will be a good thing for the government of the Republic......
"Everyone has a point," Michiro Kanya finally spoke, after weighing it again, "We really can't let Chinese threaten Nikon's position in the field of lithography machines, and the possibility that this is a conspiracy of Chinese does exist......"
After speaking, Michiro Kantani paused slightly.
The others didn't dare to take a breath, and waited quietly for Michiro Kanya to continue.
"Since these two possibilities exist, then we are also prepared with both hands," Michiro Sugatani raised a finger and said, "On the one hand, we want to suggest to the Chinese that the current price is not static, and if we are not satisfied with the price, we can sit down and discuss it slowly to buy time;
Second, to mobilize our forces in the Republic, we must investigate clearly, whether this is a smoke bomb, or is it true, and how determined Lianchuang Technology is;
Third, tell the news to the Prime Minister and the Americans, this damn problem is a headache for the Americans, I think compared to us, the Americans are more unhappy to see the Chinese form their own lithography machine research and development and production system. ”
"Hey! Your Excellency the President is far-sighted, and we are ashamed of ourselves. The vice presidents and ministers attending the meeting bent down in unison and said loudly, looking at Michiro Kanya's eyes full of admiration: Your Excellency the president is still powerful, a simple three points, it is easy to solve the problem, through the first method successfully delayed time, for Nikon and even the entire civilized world to investigate whether this is a smokescreen or the Chinese are indeed ready to increase investment in the field of lithography machine to lay the foundation, so that no matter what the Chinese plan to do, Nikon has enough room for maneuver, If this is just a smokescreen for the Chinese, Nikon will reduce the price slightly, if the Chinese really plan to increase investment in the field of lithography machines, Nikon will take this opportunity to suppress their ideas, hit the lithography machine market at a low price, and let them stop their thoughts of developing lithography machines, just like countless predecessors in the Japanese business community have done.
"Alright, then that's it, gentlemen, I'll leave it to you." Michiro Kanya, who was sitting in the middle of the banquet, leaned over and bowed to everyone.
"This is our duty, dare not serve our orders?" The vice presidents and the head office quickly moved their bodies, allowing themselves to face the direction of Michiro Kanya, rising their buttocks high, and shouting neatly on the ground. To be continued.
